Infopulse Through the Years: Building a Like-Minded Community

November 24, 2021 General

The employer brand strategy is being replaced by a new trend – interest-based communities within a workplace. Having been implemented by many global companies, the idea transforms an ordinary business relationship between a company and a specialist into professional affinity.

More than 2000 Infopulse specialists came to the idea of their own Infopulse community. The company builds long-term relationships based on trust with customers, partners, and professionals. It is a friendly community where it is easy to grow, develop, and connect with like-minded people.

30 Years of Experience

In 1991, two university friends and travel companions, Alexey Sigov and Andrey Anissimov, decided to start an IT company. A single business trip to France kickstarted its international growth strategy. Now, Infopulse is a digital transformation partner for clients from more than 30 countries. This is how the story of Infopulse began, which is now one of the Top Ukrainian IT companies.

Infopulse provides a wide range of IT services: Digital Innovations, SAP & Microsoft, Cloud & DevOps, IT Security, Software Engineering, Mobile & Web Development, and much more. The company has expertise in banking and telecommunications, retail and e-commerce, energy and Hi-Tech technologies, agriculture, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.

Alexey and Andrey, President and CEO of Infopulse, have built a company focused on individuals, where decency and integrity play a vital role.

One of the key elements of the Infopulse corporate culture has always been a warm and friendly atmosphere of mutual support. Infopulse is all of us. That is why people are our most important asset. By combining the roles of “Responsible Business” and “Responsible Service Provider,” we build a community that extends beyond the teams of specialists. Infopulse Community is about professionals and newcomers from various backgrounds with numerous hobbies, about family and friends, partners and clients, and the society we are all part of.

Andrey Anissimov

CEO of Infopulse

Finding clients isn’t part of our specialists’ responsibilities. And still, they choose to do it, which leads the company to a new stage of development. It makes me truly proud and happy. I think this mindset is influenced by the warm atmosphere that we were able to achieve in 2000 with 100 specialists and maintain since then. I am grateful to all the people who help Infopulse grow and evolve.

Communities in Action

The idea that drives the company communities is to create a meaningful experience for everyone. This means that an individual, the company, and all parties involved are getting something useful out of it, making this cooperation a continuous win-win.

Often, when people decide to leave their current role and pursue other opportunities, they remain part of the large Infopulse community and recommend the company to their friends and customers. It is also quite common for our specialists to resume cooperation with Infopulse after a while.

We believe that there are no former Infopulsers – there are Infopulse graduates. We are convinced that brands should have a human face. Our positive experience of remote collaboration only proves that the company culture doesn’t inhabit the walls; it’s a part of our people.

Infopulse specialists unite in numerous communities that encompass professional interests, creative workshops, volunteering, traveling, cycling, athletics, and ambassadorship.

Sports
We have football, ice hockey, and volleyball teams, 30 members in the cyclist community, and about 150 participants in the runner community.

Traveling
The Infopulse hallmark flag and backpack have traveled to almost every continent during the past 30 years. Our tourists have climbed the highest mountains, were deep underwater, and flew up in the sky. However, even closed borders didn’t stop our company enthusiasts from exploring. Infopulse launched the Travel Blog on Instagram to boost travelers’ morale and uncover new destinations.

Creative Workshop
We also run the Creativity Club, which was organized 8 years ago by an initiative group. The club’s activities are focused on charitable painting workshops, concerts, and exhibitions. Participants can express themselves and donate the funds to support various foundations. Even in a remote work mode, the club proceeds with online activities.

Ambassadorship
The club of Infopulse Ambassadors consists of 100 people who join various initiatives. One can follow the company’s news, give feedback, share knowledge with others, teach students, become a speaker or opinion leader, write articles or books, and do anything they are passionate about.

Volunteering
In March 2020, the company launched the “Health Truck” project – a charity initiative aimed at helping healthcare workers and medical institutions fight against COVID-19. The project is ongoing and is being implemented by the company’s volunteering community. With the help of caring members, 22 Ukrainian cities have already received aid, amounting to UAH 3 million.

Commitment is the trait I value the most. I enjoy incorporating positive changes into Infopulse. By implementing the “Health Truck” project with volunteers, we strive to provide assistance that will remain relevant after the end of the pandemic. The project has greatly boosted the volunteer involvement, encouraging specialists to unite and implement their own social initiatives.

Vadym Popov

Expert IT Engineer (MS Windows Server), Infopulse Consultant

Involvement is a power, born from the combination of awareness and maturity along with responsibility. Sadly, involvement is under-recognized in our society. That is why I am grateful for finding this value within the Infopulse culture. Commitment is the thing that struck me the most when I joined the company, and it hasn’t changed ever since. Specialists support each other, care, and share. This reciprocity makes us stronger.

The company always has a human face. There are many specialists here who have been cooperating with the company for more than 5 years, and I am friends with many of them.
